Damien has over a decade of professional writing experience under his belt, as well as a repulsively hairy belly. Rumours that he turned down a role in The Hobbit to work on Nintendo Life are, to the best of our knowledge, completely and utterly unfounded.

La Mulana is a day one purchase by me!
Finally someone stepped up to bring this gem over to Europe, Australia and US!! I was starting to think that we would never be able to play it!
Thanks Enjoyup games!!

It's not like Rick Dangerous. In RD it's all about small one-screen logic puzzles, memorization and skill.

But in La-Mulana almost every single of the myriads of rooms offers a clue to solve a puzzle somewhere. Sometimes in the same room, sometimes in the next and sometimes far away. And you have no idea which of the vague clues is for which room. Assuming you can even understand the clue.

To compare it to another game, I would say the nearest equivalant﻿ is "Castlevania II: Simon's Quest" because if you haven't read the strategy guide, you will be absolutely clueless on what to do.
